Number recorded, find the new notification on your Pelican Web App which matches the serial number on the Z8’s Wireless Antenna. Press configure. If no new notification is found, select Admin and identify if the new Z8 is on your Pelican Web App. If the Z8 is not found under Admin, then the Z8 is unable to communicate with the wireless gateway. - Page 29 MINIMUM STATIC Settable range 0.0 inch WC to 3.0 inch WC. This is a safety and will place the Z8 into an automatic reset if detected during a heating, cooling or reheat cycle. Reset will de-energize any calls for heating, cooling, or reheat, but the call for fan will remain energized.
- Page 30 BOILER CONFIGURATION OPTIONS By enabling boiler control you are instructing the Z8 to use (W2) as a boiler enable output. With this feature active, the Z8 will NOT energize (W) until it detects the boiler’s supply water temperature to be within a specified range. This feature requires the Z8 to be able to read the boiler’s hot water supply temperature.
